one interesting, but not unexpected, aspect to this story has been the vociferous attacks on the two heroic kids that broke the story.
Hannah giles is the daughter of doug giles, a minister and author of ten books on christianity, masculinity and cultural insanity. If you can't laugh with this guy's perspective on modern life you have no sense of humor or are living in an alternate universe of your own making.
Here is his take on what his daughter did -
no, it wasn?t my idea for hannah giles to dress like a hooker and infiltrate acorn

it?s been quite interesting watching and reading the statements coming from acorn and various ?news? Organizations about the ?facts? Of the giles/o?keefe acorn caper. Here?s a little sample of what they have been saying about the two evil citizen journalists, hannah giles and james o?keefe, the ones who picked on poor, poor, poor, old acorn.
Check it out, the truth according to nutty acorn (and what really happened):
1. Giles? And o?keefe?s timeframe for filming. bertha lewis and others have stated that hannah and james spent many months visiting scores of acorn centers to get these few videos. One wizard said hannah and james had been doing this since 2005, which would have made hannah, oh, let?s see, about 14 or 15. Hello! I?m a cool dad?but not that cool.
I guess bertha could be right about the time giles and o?keefe invested in the acorn sting op if she counts her days in dog years. If that?s how she rolls then she?s spot-on with the ?many months? Statement. By the way, if that?s true, this november i?ll be 329 years old. Happy birthday to me! I think i?ll get another gun! I?m diggin? On the s&w .500 magnum. She?s purty.
The truth of the matter, from a timeline standpoint, is that they hatched their plan in may of ?09, fine-tuned it from may 20th ? July 23rd, and then launched july 24th, fully accomplishing their mission by the end of august. And that?s a fact to all those for whom facts still matter.
2. Giles? And o?keefe?s mission failed in many locations. bertha and her buddies say with vigor and reverend wright unction that giles and o?keefe tried this trick in hundreds of locations without success. Marc lamont hill was on o?reilly?s show this past week parroting the same smack. I heard one lunatic say they visited thousands of centers nationwide (there are under 200. Oops). Hey, guys: Why stop at hundreds and thousands? Why not say gazillions or quadrillions of acorn centers?! Go dr. Evil with the numbers. The truth of the matter happens to be that hannah and james visited just a few locations?i won?t say how many?and struck gold, or sewage, everywhere they went.
3. Giles and o?keefe had fox news bankroll this escapade. i believe that, according to the acorn spinmeisters, they had the amount of drachmas fox had given hannah and james in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The oh-so-sexy reality regarding this little nugget is that it cost these two acorn-crackers $1,300 of their own money. It?s amazing what one can do with a little cash, grandma?s chinchilla coat, a miniskirt and a whole lot of vision, eh? The only cash they received from fox was for their hotel stay and their airfare while they did beck?s and hannity?s shows. That?s the truth. Oh, and as far as me giving her any pesos, for this epoch her papasito gave her nada. Not a penny. No fox funds. No crazy christian dad dollars.
4. Giles? Radical, ultra-conservative christian dad put her up to it. i believe that?s how someone on one of those unwatched news shows has been bending it. Well, i can tell you as her dad that i did not. As much as me no likey the nefarious underpinnings and corrupt acts of acorn, having my kid dress like a hooker and infiltrate such a place is not in my repertoire. That was hannah?s baby from start to finish. I simply told her to be careful because we all know how dangerous sweet community organizers can be. Oh, fyi . . . If confessing i?m a sinner, believing orthodox christian doctrine, saluting our flag and that for which it stands, loving the constitution, hating terrorists, being fond of guns, hunting, country and rock music while adoring freedom makes me a crazy ultra-conservative christian lunatic then i guess i am one of those. I will put that name right next to the other name obama?s former green czar called such a person back in march (i believe he called us ?a**holes?).
5. Giles and o?keefe doctored the tapes. this is silly. James is a talented post-production editor, but he didn?t put the words in the acorn workers? Mouths. He?s sharp . . . But not that sharp. Anyway, if he did you and i both would know it because it would have looked and sounded like one of those old bruce lee flicks. Unfortunately for bertha, andrew breitbart has the vids and the transcripts in their entirety on his new site biggovernment.com for anyone to behold. Grab some popcorn and watch ?em. It?s a teachable moment. Oh, speaking of the tapes: You might wanna go back to the san bernadino one and listen to the list of politicians the acorn lady rattled off as elected officials who would possibly be ready and willing to assist with the house for hookers program.
Well, my children, that?s the inside poop on how it happened. That?s reality. I, personally, am stunned by what my kid and her cohort did in ratting out tawdry corruption on the highest (or lowest) level. As far as i am concerned, giles and o?keefe are american heroes par excellence. They accomplished something in a few short weeks, on a wing and a prayer, that other agencies and people have been trying to expose for many, many moons.
